This guide is about how to reset the Asus WMVN25E2+ router back to factory defaults. There is a lot of confusion about the difference between resetting a router and rebooting a router. Rebooting is only referring to cycling the power. This is normally done by turning off or unplugging the device and turning it back on or plugging it back in. Resetting a router takes all the settings and returns them to factory default settings.

Warning: If you are unaware of the changes that take place in a reset don't do it. We recommend making a list of the settings you know you have changed. Consider the following:

  • The router's interface username and password are returned to factory settings.
  • WiFi settings such as SSID, password, and authentication methods are returned to factory defaults.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. Call your ISP for more details.
  • Settings such as DNS preferences, IP address changes, port forwards, firewall settings, etc. are all erased.

Use a VPN

Have you considered using a VPN when you connect to the internet? A VPN is a great way to increase your security and anonymity while surfing.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes securely sharing your home network super simple. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

Once you are ready to reset the router. Make sure it is on. Unplugging or turning off the router during the process could cause permanent damage to the router.

Now you need to locate the tiny reset button on the back panel of your router. We have circled it's location in the image below.
